Mechanical failure made me miss the ride. OK, so it was user negligence, but whatever.

Threw a chain on the way to the ferry going down pine st. Rear wheel locked up, I went down, chain was jammed in between the cog and the spokes. After 15 min or so of trying to yank it out I gave up, that thing was really stuck in there. Took it to the shop later in the day and they had to loosen lockring and cog to get it out.

So my chilly hilly ride ended before it even started, but I learned a painful lesson to check my chain tension more often.

I plan to at least go out one weekend soon and ride the route though.
